Enrichment Work: We have put together a new Google Classroom for students who finish their class work early and are looking for additional ways to stay busy. Mrs. Simeone, Mrs. McGuire, and Mrs. Folini have come up with an interdisciplinary project that ties in all three subjects. Each Monday we will post the week's mission. Students are encouraged to work virtually together, or they can choose to work alone. This page is intended for students who are caught up with all their work in each class. Moving forward, this will be an optional, UNGRADED assignment. The code to join What's Cookin' Badgers? is: dl2hnrf
Earth Day! This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the establishment of Earth Day! The Badger Team has always marked the day with team activities centered around learning why and how we should respect our planet. Although we cannot be together for our activities, please note that Friday will be a Team Day. We will notify all students in Google Classrooms what the fun, enrichment activities will be!
Class Updates:
Social Studies: Students took two assessments this past week: A short answer question on Feudalism in Europe and Japan and an assessment on the Early Middle Ages. Please check the grade book to see how your child scored. We will start a new topic Monday as we begin to look closer at kingdoms and ultimately the Magna Carta.
Literacy: We should be finishing Latin Unit 11 practice this week, and students should be planning on an assessment at the end of the week, or Monday. Please encourage your children to learn this material. Tomorrow is a listening, reading and responding activity that should be enjoyable. There is a YouTube video. Our district's Firewall is very secure, so when we assign YouTube videos, they need to be cleared by IT. If there are issues, ask your child to restart the computer.
Science: Feedback on Google classroom is how I let students know if they are understanding concepts. Please encourage your children to check feedback on each assignment before going on to the new assignment. This week in science we will finish the CER from last week, take a second look at what makes a sampling method valid and start Chapter 3.
English: Students will have an assessment on The Giver Monday, April 20th and Tuesday, April 21st. The assessment will be split over two days for the sake of time. Students shouldn't have to spend more than 20-25 minutes completing the assessment each day. I want to reiterate our team and school expectation that each child is to complete his or her test with fidelity. No one should be sharing answers or working together during an assessment.
Math: Students will continue with experimental probability this week. There will be another short quiz on Thursday April 23rd. I will be available at 11 daily via Zoom for extra help.
